Greets,

I have been considering for awhile now dong a website about Mixed Martial Arts. the site would have a pro shop, news, events, contests, and various other things. Im still contemplating whether or not this is something I want to do. I will take care of webhosting domain and I CAN do design for the site though I would prefer a professional Coder to take care of the coding.

Currently I train Muay thai Kickboxing Zen karate and brazilian Ju jitsu. This project would be ideal for people who are big into Pro MMA and even Amateur MMA. Send me a pm here if you wanna discuss it further and maybe we can make somethig happen

Chris

Hey Chris.

I have actually been thinking about doing something like this for awhile now.

My intro to MMA was about a year ago when I rented UFC vol 1. Since then I have been working my chronologically through UFC and Pride (I am up to 2002). As I am watching I can't help thinking I should be compiling some kind of database of all the fights to put onto a site. So far I haven't done anything about it though.

Jerry

Ya I also have been doing something similar to this with Pride as I didnt follow Pride until UFC recently acquired it then I decided I ebtter start watching it. I havent decided how far back to go, I got bushido 1 the other day and thought htat may be a good starting point.

Kinda missed the boat on this so to speak. What can you offer users that the huge mma sites can't? MMAweekly.com sherdog.com etc...

Pride started out pretty weak with lots of long boring matches but then they started getting some really good fighters. I'd say it starts getting good around 7 or 8 with Kazushi Sakuraba, Igor Vovchanchyn, and Wanderlei Silva.

Pride Grand Prix 2000 is worth checking out if you get the chance.

i dont think I would say missed the boat.. MMA is just starting to boom the last couple years and I dont see it gettign any smaller int he near future, as a matter of fact I can see it growing at an even faster pace then it is right now. I know for example the city im living in has seen like 4 new MMA gyms open in the past 18 months and thier is only 300,000 people and already 4 or 5 MMA gyms prior to that. Not to mention MMA isnt near as big in Canada as it in in the US. needless to say its ahot market and I dont see it dying off anytime soon, so missed the boat would be innacurate

I too have been looking hard at this niche. UFC just signed a deal with ESPN where ESPN will finally be covering highlights of the sport. (Disney owns ESPN!) They also signed deals with HBO, bought Pride, and doing international shows now.

You know the niche is on fire when you go to Barnes and Noble and they have 5-6 different magazines on one niche.

As a marketer I look at the customer base and see a bunch of mostly young single men with big ego's...Sounds like buyer's to me!

I'd say you could easily start a membership site where you and a your BJJ instructor do a weekly series of videos teaching people how to get into the MMA sport, through in a forum, some affiliate ads and you got yourself a decent business.

P.S. I just saw that you are able to use Google Site-Targeting to advertise right on front of Sherdog.com also! If I weren't so busy I'd be all over this like white on rice.

Dzirez, long time.



And ya, this is a great niche.
I also have thought about this alot.

Kickboxing is better however in my opinion.
